Camera came Monday of this week, so I’ve had it for four whole days. I did get the lens, because f/2.5 lenses for 4x5 are or exactly common. I also got the Instax back. I need to play with it more; I’ve only put one Grafmatic pack through it so far. I think the lens may be optimized for portraits.

How bulky is it for carrying around? It looks very large in their photos.

No worse than my Graflex RB Super D, probably a bit lighter in fact. It’s not going to fit in my jacket pocket, but compared to most 4x5 cameras, it’s pretty reasonable. Only one I have that would be significantly lighter is my Wanderlust Travelwide. That’s significantly less capable than this.
